Hey all.
I was wanting to ask people who are using the new 32 bit WinPlan (alone or with another client; JVC, PCC, ect) if they had experienced any problems with it. I tried using it with JVC and had mixed results. It seemed ok on a regular hosted game (No Frills 89), but on a P-Host game (P-Monster) over half of my ships dropped their speed to warp 5. And Autotroll OKed them both. WinPlan 32bit, by itself looks fine and it maybe something Ive messed up on my end.

Thats why I wanted to ask for some results from others out there using it with, or without 3rd party clients.

95% of all bugs were graphics related, or crashes when doing certain things.

I dont think so, Ive never know JVC to send ships at any speed other than what is commanded. It ight be a problem on my end, not quite sure. When I moved the JVC game database files (that store speeds, waypoints, position, config & other stuff) to the new JVC/WinPlan32 arangement, it also swapped the waypoints for all of the ship's position a turn ago. Making every ship want to go back exactly the way it came. That was a really wierd one, but easy to fix and it didnt happen again, but the speed thing did.. I was hoping to get rid of the XP partition that I have to use just for VGAP. Next time I do testing of this, I wont do it in a real game, should have known better.

I'm just using Winplan. It sure does crash a lot when I'm doing planetary work. Usually complains of having the wrong window on top or the wrong picture (?). It also gets confused when I'm bopping around different planets, especially coming out of a dialogue where I'm looking for planets where a base can be built, for example.

I also notice that I can't have the planet survey up while I'm in the build structure window.

Hi Bitmask,
Yes it is still VB and you are correct VB 6 is what i ported the code to.
I first tried to port directly to VB.Net but it is not really compatible with the code so would have had to do a complete rewrite.

Just to let everyone know:
I will be on vacation for the next two weeks with no regular access to email or the internet. So it might take some time for me to read any post on the forum here or on rcworld.
